Condition: A

Condition code is for the folding maps and plates, which are mostly clean and bright. Text is very good with a bit of light toning in the last 20 pages or so. There is an old library stamp on the title page, and the paper envelope attached to the inside rear wrapper housing the maps has perished (as is often the case). Paper wrappers have small chips to the spine that have been reinforced with archival tape.
